Ten passengers from the bus were injured and taken to Prince Mashiyeni Hospital for treatment.

“Since the driver admitted to the brake failure, we hold the truck owner accountable,” remarked Siboniso Duma, the KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Transport and Human Settlements.

“Furthermore, we are improving our roadworthiness inspections by deploying 197 traffic officers from the Road Traffic Management Corporation.

“We thank the national Department of Transport for facilitating this deployment.”

The new officers will enhance the efforts of over 2,745 existing traffic officers dedicated to enforcing traffic laws and ensuring safety on the roads.

MEC Duma emphasized that the addition of 197 traffic officers will aid in policing areas known for hazardous conditions.

High-risk accident zones—some resulting in fatalities—have been identified in Durban, Mtubatuba, and Ugu.
